You could also look at Lease Options and joint ventures.

If not, please send me an invite next time one comes up as I genuinely want to attend. 

It was probably one of the most pleasant and genuine Thanksgiving celebrations I've ever been a part of.

Leticia, your lease should include a "joint and several liability" clause that says everyone on the lease is 100% responsible for the terms of the lease.

The best thing you can do now is damage control and try to salvage the situation with a genuine apology and possibly monetary concessions. 

@Laurence ObiCall up your local pizza joint and order whatever they can build you (xL) that tastes the worst and costs ~$100.

Your options include, but aren't limited to:-Unsecured Personal Line of Credit-Personal Loan-Private Money (borrowed from family, friends, business associates)-Joint Venture Capital-Vendor Finance-2nd mortgage-Credit Card advance (though I wouldn't recommend it)It's good to note though that whatever method you choose will be "behind" the bank in security ranking.  

Every one I've ever seen has a joint and several clause in force. 

If you plan on using the equity of a jointly owned property with your family for a loan, have you found a lender willing to do so with just your approval? 

Having said that, you should pay your brother a fair price for his services.I have done multiple projects where I was the GC on joint ventures and always charge a fair market price.
